The song numbers and talk were both put over to a dialect so accurate the majority mistook the duo for darkies. Then came the punch at the finish, the girl putting over the impression that she was a female impersonator. It's a good idea as a final applause winner.
The appeal in this act, from an applause standpoint, lies entirely in the surprise finish, where the first revelation is that the girl who sports a "high yaller" complexion is white, and then to make it twice as difficult, the wig is removed and the girl stands revealed as an "impersonator?"
